Jurassic Pets is amazing! My daughter got a cockatiel from there yesterday and it is already so kind and tame. Rick, the owner, hand feeds his babies so they are already used to humans. In the store you get to hold the bird and they just sit in your shoulder while you walk around. He takes amazing care of his animals and customers. There are many birds, snakes, turtles, etc. I highly recommend going here if you are planning to get a pet.

prolapsed ball python, eye infection in a corn snake, pythons used as living chandeliers. many of the enclosures are over crowded and worse than commercial pet stores. wish I could report for animal abuse...

I have been there a few times. Most recently I left with a carpet python. I’ve been to many different exotic pet stores, but it is few and far between finding exotic pet stores run this well and with this much care. I will be recommending this place to everyone and this will be the first place I go whenever I have any exotic pet care needs or wants

Loved this pet store! The owner and his wife were so welcoming and considerate. You can tell they love and care about all the pets they have. Definitely recommend stopping by even if it’s just for a quick look.

We relocated to Santa Fe along with our tortoise, Babster. I had raised Babster from a hatchling and cared for him for 23 years in a more tortoise-friendly climate. We stopped into Jurassic Pets to pick up some supplies and learned more about Santa Fe-specific tortoise husbandry from Rick (owner) in 20 minutes than we had during two weeks of internet reading. Rick is extremely passionate, knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helpful. This is the place to go for all your exotic pet information and needs!

Jurassic Pets is the best reptile store that I have been to in multiple states. Rick is extremely knowledgeable and will offer advice and tips for excellent care. His store is family friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend!

Rick was very awesome and informative regarding our goffin’s cockatoo. We absolutely are in love with our new feathered friend. All worked out so well for us as we were on vacation and had to pick up our bird a few days after payment. :)

Not sure what the negativity is for, we have had nothing but stellar experiences with Rick and Jurassic Pets. We found the shop on a trip to Santa Fe a couple of years ago and now make it a point to go in every time we visit. The shop is full of various animals, all of which seem be very well taken care of. Rick is very knowledgeable and helpful and interacts with each customer while they visit his shop. Definitely worth a trip to check it out!

A had a Blast. I asked about the Biggest Venus Fly traps I've ever seen were real, the shop owner said everything in here is alive. Boas hanging from cool wooden chandeliers, fresh and salt water selections, parrots, bearded dragons, piranhas and chameleons. Nice walk around spread out atmosphere. Rick is the Best!

Update: I bought a cockatiel (the one in the pictures) six months ago. He is the most fun bird I have ever had. He’s so healthy, curious, and friendly. The behavior of birds is an indicator of who raised them and who sold them, as they are the first people to socialize and take care of them. From what I’ve seen in my own baby this really is a great business. ✨I enthusiastically recommend this place to all animal lovers. The pets that live here are very clearly cared for with love and respect for life. The animals are gorgeous and everything is so well tended. The owner is extremely helpful and informative. This is a professional yet very whimsical shop. Your inner child will be awoken when you visit. 11/10, will certainly expand my feathered and furry family here. ?

I just saw this man, Rick?, in his Jurassic Truck hitting his dog in the back seat.I stopped my car and shook my finger at him!! WTF!! I've read the reviews and an amazing amount of people say his store is disgusting and the animals not well taken care of... I can believe it now.. Just using animals for income.. And to hit his dog!!!!! Please animal rescue look into this business!!!!!

We absolutely love Jurassic pets. Took our little one to the store a few months ago and we’ve been a dozen times since. The owner is very knowledgeable and helps us with any request we have. Will be back often, we love the reptiles and birds! Best pet shop in town and top ten best shops in general in Santa Fe!

We had a really great experience with this store. We came in because we were looking for a pet that was hard to find, and unavailable anywhere in the state. No other pet store was able to obtain one for us, or to help us to find one. Someone suggested I talk with Rick at Jurassic Pets. He was very friendly and polite and found what we needed, and had them for us within a few days. he also provided some equipment that we needed and everything was reasonably priced. The store itself was the best... like a little zoo! Rick was very welcoming and allowed us to walk around and look at all of the animals. There were some there that I'd never seen before! He invited us to take our time, even though it was near closing time. I'm looking forward to going back just because it is so fun and Rick is so pleasant. My kid loves it. If yo've never been to this store you and love to see unique animals, you must check it out! Kids especially will love it! :)Ps - the store is very clean and well organized, and comfortable to walk around in. All of the animals looked to be content, healthy and very well cared for. The animals that we bought there came very healthy and in perfect condition.Highly recommend!
